Ultimate Ears are one of the most influential custom earphone companyâ€™s out there, catering to bands like the Killers, Billy Idol, Van Halen, Metallica and John Mayer among many others. Frankly put, they are masters of the high-end domain.

But like all high-end companies, Ultimate Ears also produce consumer-oriented gear that compares well with the market in terms of price and performance. We will be looking at several of the iconic companyâ€™s products in the next few months, but today, the MetroFi 220vi will sit in the hot seat.
